Need to further investigate this to narrow down the root cause.
Hi Aaron, This looks like it might be caused by an error in the config.json file. Could you check that and if you can't find the issue, attach the config.json please?

Hi Richard, Was able to locate and find the syntax error from the config.json file since its a long list. So what i did was to recopy the entire yocto-autobuilder-helper into the worker home directory. # Just a proposal that we should give a better error handling when loading the json contents. http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-autobuilder-helper/tree/scripts/utils.py#n79 # # Helper to load the config.json file for scripts in the scripts directory (pass in __file__) # def loadconfig(f): scriptsdir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(f)) try: with open(os.path.join(scriptsdir, '..', 'config.json')) as f: ourconfig = json.load(f) except: print "[autobuilder2-helper] has found a syntax error in config.json" sys.exit(1) # Expand templates in the configuration ourconfig = expandtemplates(ourconfig) return ourconfig

The syntax error is that you're missing a trailing }
Unfortunately this isn't something we can easily fix. We're using the standard upstream python json library and any parser issues would need to be fixed there. Much as I'd like to improve this, its therefore out of scope of what we can do within the codebases we're writing.
